Roses:
For existing roses, apply 1/2-1 cup per plant in early spring and
thoroughly mix into the soil surface. For new roses, add 1/2-1 cup per
hole, mix thoroughly into soil and water in well. Repeat application
when blooms appear and again in Fall at half the recommended amount.
Containers:
For new plantings, add 2-4 tbsp per gallon of soil and mix thoroughly OR add 5 lbs per cubic yard. For established plants, lightly mix 1-2 tbsp per gallon into the soil surface once each month during the growing season.
Vegetable Gardens & Flower Beds:
To prepare new gardens, apply 5-10 lbs per 100 square feet and
thoroughly mix into the top 3″ of soil. For new transplants, add 1-2
tbsp per hole, mix into soil and water in well. To feed established
plants, side dress ½ cup once each month during the growing season to
promote plant growth.
Trees & Shrubs:
Spread up to 1 lb per 2″ of trunk diameter around the base outwards to the drip line, mix into soil surface and water in well. For new trees, prepare transplant hole and mix 1-2 cups with the backfill soil. Use the amended soil to fill in around the new tree and water in well.
